The Secret to Love

Mrs. Sapperstein invited her newly married great niece Rebecca over to her house for an afternoon tea. Rebbecca was impressed by the way her great aunt preceded every request to her husband with endearing terms calling him "Dear, Hubby, My Love, Darling, Sweet pie". Amazingly, she had been married almost 70 years, and it seemed they were still very much in love. Rebecca wanted to learn her secret.

While Mr. Sapperstein was off in the garden, Rebecca leaned over and said, "I think it's wonderful that, after all the years you've been married, you still call uncle those loving pet names. What’s your secret?"

Mrs. Sapperstein hung her head and replied, "Oh, I forgot his name about ten years ago.”
